This wasn't exactly what I meant, but I figured it out anyway :)<br />
VMWare does do what I was asking, better in fact, it just wasn't as obvious as VirtualBox.<br />
What I meant was that the virtual PC ran like a service would.. no GUI at all on the server, just a PC running that I could remote into (either with remote desktop or the server console running on my PC).<br />
which it does!<br />
VirtualBox has both a console like VMWare, and command line options to start a virtual PC, so you just create a batch file and run at bootup, and it boots all the virtual machines (but leaves the dos window running)

Is it possible to run a &quot;headless&quot; virtual PC like InnoTek VirtualBox can, using VMWare?<br />
I would just use VirtualBox, except they currently do not support a 64bit Host (Our host is Windows 2003 server x64)

Headless? (like InnoTek VirtualBox)

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
